Psychological analysis of the relationship between values, meanings, and motivation in students of humanities and technical specialties

this article examines the psychological analysis of the relationship between value, life-purpose, and motivational characteristics of students majoring in the humanities and engineering. The aim of the study was to identify the relationship between value orientations, life meanings, and the characteristics of academic motivation in students majoring in different fields of study. The following psychodiagnostic methods were used: "Value Orientations" by M. Rokich, "Life-Purpose Orientations" (LPO) test by D.A. Leontiev, and "Motivation for Academic Activity" test by A.A. Rean and V.A. Yakunin (modified by N. Ts. Badmaeva). The obtained results allowed us to identify differences in dominant values, levels of life meaning, and types of academic motivation among students majoring in various fields, as well as to establish the relationship between the components of the value-semantic and motivational spheres of the individual.
